ZeniMax Media announces having shipped seven million units of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, saying they expect Bethesda Softworks' RPG sequel to generate more than $450 million in global retail sales. "We are grateful for the fans’ response to Skyrim," said Robert Altman, Chairman and CEO of ZeniMax Media. "Todd Howard and his team at Bethesda Game Studios have crafted a very special game. Anticipation for Skyrim has surpassed any game in our company’s history, and we are pleased that sales and reviews have reflected the quality and hours of amazing gameplay it provides."

Beth gives a decent amount of support in patches to titles as seen in the past. They don't fix everything, but the mod community usually fixes most of the rest. The UI is rarely changed much though by beth, usually the mod community fixes that up to be more appropriate to PC instead of a direct port from console.

I don't need Bethesda to overhaul the UI for PC users - that would be ridiculous. I'm sure they had a spec requirement for the UI to function a certain way across all platforms, and it fills that requirement well enough. The mod community can do a far better job of coming up with a PC-specific UI on their own. What Bethesda needs to fix is the broken keybindings and how the game's different menus' commands don't work (at all) if you start rebinding keys. That and the 'button help' graphics that don't change even if you remap keys. This stuff is just dumb choices/oversights that should, and probably will, be fixed in the first patch.
